What the analysts are saying
- "Izzo has athletic limitations, but he has the willingness and talent to become a plus blocker at the point of attack and he's able to work the middle of the field." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
- "He simply lacks the juice to be much of a threat in the passing game, except as a short-yardage security blanket."
